What a different crowd we have this week! You'll find some academic favorites, a Greek philosopher, and a few familiar faces. Happy Friday!

9. Economia and Eschatology, Steylios MuksurisThis title is one of the only books in English about the history of the prothesis rite, the small service the priest performs before the Divine LIturgy begins. A fascinating read!

8. Against Religion, Christos YannarasMaybe you know Yannaras as the famous Greek philosopher, or maybe you were attracted by the enchantingly bizarre Pollock painting on the cover. Either way, this title is sure to captivate, as Yannaras examines the influences of Western society on Orthodoxy.

7. Icon as Communion,George KordisThis helpful work by master iconographer George Kordis is part instruction, part theology. Iconographers who visit our store tell us it's one of the best authorities on the subject.

3. Guide for a Church Under Islam, Patrick ViscusoCall it current events, call it modern curiosity--whatever you call it, we just can't keep this book on the shelves.

2. Orthodox Canon Law Reference Book, Vasile MihaiEver wanted to know the answers to every obscure pastoral dilemma? Say no more. This book would make a great gift for the clergyman (or canon law enthusiast) in your life.
